Everyone:

This is a reminder that the Insurance & Surety Committee's normal monthly call on Monday, November 18th has been rescheduled to 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., Friday, November 22, 2013, to coincide with the Executive Council meeting in Sarasota.  We invite everyone to attend the Executive Council meeting in person if you are able.  If not, the dial-in information and Committee Schedules are attached and the webinar information is below.

As reflected in my prior email, we are having a joint meeting with the Residential Real Estate &  Industry Liaison Committee regarding the Biggert Waters Flood Insurance Act, and the impact it has had on insurance premiums and the real estate market.  The presentations will be a very relevant for anyone with clients or property along the coast or rivers, so if you are in the area, please make every attempt to attend in person - it is a great way to get involved in the Section and to see how the Executive Council works.  There are also many other committee meetings you can attend as reflected on the attached Committee Schedule.
